How to Get Rid of the Trojan Virus - Once and For All!

Trojan viruses are horrible viruses that manage to covertly get themselves into your system by either posing as genuine computer applications or by hitching a ride attached to a genuine software application so you may think you are downloading a new application for your laptop but what you are in fact doing is infecting yourself with a trojan virus! Once you have accessed and acquired this type of virus onto your machine you have effectively let a hacker control your system.

The hacker can now search through all of your files at will and can even monitor you while you are browsing online registering your internet sites and more importantly your passwords. This can be made even worse if you use internet banking or have important business online as the hacker will now have access to this information as well!

Sometimes however trojan viruses are not intended for use by hackers but instead have a destructive quality behind them. These viruses sole intent is to cause destruction to the machine they infect.

Removing Trojan Viruses can be very quick and incredibly simple. The first thing you need to do is access the task manager on your system. This can be done usually by typing Control + ALT + Delete. Once you have this opened you need to go to processes and analyse all the processes that appear. You will be able to tell pretty shortly if any of the processes that are running are suspicious because you will not have heard of them! For example in my processes right now is itunes.exe this is because I am running iTunes. If the process was gggt.exe I would be suspicious because I do not know what that is!

If you are unable to find any viruses in your processes tree then the virus you are infected with must be quite advanced. For this type of virus you are going to need an Advanced Virus Remover.

The best security package I have seen to date is Workstation Optimizer. It is an all-in-one virus scanner and security system, meaning it will protect you from viruses and keep your machine running as smooth as it did the day you bought it!
